Before that I had Smurfs, Snuggles, Strawberry Shortcake, LiteBrite, Popples, Wozzles, Teddy Ruxpin and Carebears, sonthe 90s helped detoxify from this a bit.

I grew up in a time when cartoons, even live action and ads, had moments where characters would go unhinged, extreme reactions to the merest thing, or for no reasons, eyeballs popping out and heads exploding. Ren and Stimpy was quite an example. So.
Yeah. I sometimes draw unhinged stuff. In dna now.

Oh you're supposed to give the treats after and not meanwhile? XD

did i
you thanks

Saw a few of his shows on streaming. He seemed to take some time at the beginning to condition the audience into understanding the offensiveness of his words are humor

(what it means is laugh tracks help feel a social setting and confirmation that what you heard/saw's indeed funny therefore socially acceptable to emit laugh without awkwardness of being inappropriate.It helps elicit laughter
so "calling out the joke" can serve similar purpose.a bit too on the nose)

Maybe just a parallel to laugh tracks. Nowadays you could say those annoying snickering laughing sounds your hear added onto live footage videos online.

Tyrants: "Gneh heh heh, while you were rejoicing your make believe victory fantasies in stories and videogames, you were giving us the blueprints to our eeeevil uprising Gneh ha HA now cower as we take away access to resources, funds and basic human rights. GNAHAHA"
..hmm. bit 20th Century Boy here.

Maybe we will see a real live mecha-hitler in our lifetime yet, at this rate.

I had a ren and stimpy underground toon vibe in mind but I knew it ended up looking a bit familiar...didn't know what to.

My usual habit is that I see any of those illustration situations as a challenge/puzzle to overcome using my knowledge and skills, and if I'm wasting too much time figuring it out on my own, I find creative shortcuts or else start incorporating some aspects of references for what I struggle with.

No reference used so I'm kind of proud and ashamed both at the same time of that animation.
